Everything You Need To Know Before Buying Hair Clippers

Hair clipper Blade material

The cutter head is divided into two rows of overlapping bladed teeth. One row is stationary and the other row moves reciprocally to achieve cutting. The main materials are ceramic, stainless steel, and titanium-plated alloy.

1. Ceramic blade

It has good sharpness and makes less noise when used. At the same time, the heat generated by its movement is low, These sharp blades won't corrode over time and are washable.They are great for cutting wet hair.

However, they are a bit more fragile if dropped.,therefore, care should be taken to avoid collisions and falls when using it.

2. Stainless blade

This advantage is wear-resistant and drop-resistant, and has good durability.

Its disadvantage is that the stainless steel cutter head will cause rust if it is not dried after long-term use.

3. Titanium plated alloy

Advantages: The titanium-plated alloy cutter head has a higher sharpness and has the best durability compared to ceramic and stainless steel cutter heads.

Disadvantages: The titanium-coated alloy blade makes a lot of noise when used and is sharp, so it is not suitable for children.But the price is also higher
